Q

How was dark energy founded?

A

A star had less light intensity then predicted and the only possible conclusion was the universe was expanding but an energy source is required first acceleration. But no source was found so dark energy was used.

Q

How did dark matter come about?

A

Studying the doppler effect the velocity if the stats in the galaxy dudnt behave as expected. It was expect that their velocity would decrease as the distance from centre of galaxy increases. But instead velocity was increasing.

Q

What did the observation suggest?

A

The mass of the galaxy isnt concentrated in the centre but most matter is in the centre. So dark matter is spread throughout the universe.

Q

How does Hubbles law back the big bang?

A

The universe is expanding so if you e go backward the universe of is kade from in single point.

17
Q

How did the existence of background radiation occur?

A

When the universe was young it had high energy gamma rays which eventually got stretched as the universe expanding and then became microwaves.

The universe is hot and dense and the temperature reduced and at this temperature the peak wavelength was a microwave.
